Ever try Blanche de Chambly or Trois Monts? My wife has been making her own beer for over 30 years, is always on the lookout for new brews, and has added the above-named to her collection. Salut!

In my (thus far) limited collection, I'd have to go with the Death of Wolfe. Given the quality of the maker's figures, though, the question is not as easy to answer as it appears.

To keep the Fort Ti pot boiling, go to www.fort-ticonderoga250th.org to check out the re-enactment. The Barzsos said that a good time was had by all. By the by, what do you think of Ron's star fort? Adequate Fort Ti backdrop?

Besides the titles already cited, I'd recommend "Century of Conflict," by Joseph Lister Rutledge, "1759. The Battle for Canada," by Laurier L. LaPierre, "Betrayals. Fort William Henry & the "Massacre," by Ian K. Steele, and "The Siege and the Battle . Quebec 1759," by C.P. Stacey.

Re: Imperial Embarrassments For a good laugh at Napoleon's expense, read about the Emperor's hunting mishaps on pages 593 & 594 in Chandler's monumental work on the man. In this regard, he was most fortunate to have lived in an age that didn't even have photography. Some of you may recall the...

Myself, I'd rather be wrong than right..... wing.:D:D:D

"Your words resignate:eek::eek::eek: with me." Also, you remind me of what one of my student's co-workers once said: "Well, I'm not illiterate. My parents were married when they had me." :eek::eek::eek:::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Just grand! Thanks for finding this & sharing it with us!:D:D

Moi aussi. :D:D:D

Dr. Johnson said, "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." George M. Cohan said, "many a bum show has been saved by the flag."

Just great! My FIW collection will look better & better once the purse strings are loosened later this year. Many thanks!:D:D:D

Interesting figures. I concur that the last one is a French matelot, maybe a marine. Certainly not Scottish.:D

Q: What's underneath a Scotsman's kilt? A: Everything & nothing. For more on this topic, see the film CARRY ON UP THE KHYBER.

Re: Roman Battlefield I give up! I've entered the CNN website twice and both times it shows up here with mistakes. I thought that the first time was purely my mistake, but I know that I double checked before entering it again. Just try the Tech section of CNN's website and check for Roman...

Re: Roman battlefield Sorry about the typo; the proper website address is: www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/01/05/germany.battlefield.:D

Re: Roman Battlefield Go to www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/01/05/germany.battlefield for a fascinating account of a recent discovery of a hitherto unknown Roman battlefield outside Hanover. My wife & I enjoyed the read, 'though it's not our usual area of study. :D

Not my principal area of study, but I've been re-reading parts of Clammer's THE ZULU WAR and Morris' THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS. Really have to make the time for Holzer's LINCOLN, PRESIDENT ELECT and Donald's LINCOLN.:D

In total agreement with you.
